Gigs for March!

HELLO THERE!

I hope that you had a terrific February, as I did. Here’s a post about my forthcoming gigs for March 2009! I’ve been so busy lately, it’s come in rather late! Full listings are at the bottom of this page.

Anyway, this post is now so delayed that my first March event has already slipped by: I paraded in the Sydney Mardi Gras last night with the Sydney Queer Atheists. This was fabulous, even for a heartbroken monogamous heterosexual boy like me! I had my guitar with me, so I unfortunately couldn’t get any snaps. If anyone has any photos of me from last night I can post here, please email me at smile@davethehappysinger.com!

And my shambolic organisation is taking its toll again with a very last-minute shoutout for tonight’s show! I’m at Kelly’s on King in Newtown tonight, Sunday March 8th! Join me with the SongsALIVE! Showcase from 7pm. I normally play later in the evening so if you have plans earlier, you can still catch me.

I’m very excited to play my first RSL show this Wednesday 11th March at Newtown RSL. If you can make it I’d really love to give them a show to remember for their very first Happy Singer experience!

Coming up in just a couple of weeks is the March in March protest against internet censorship! That’s on Saturday 21st March in Canberra. This very important day is an opportunity for us to speak out against the Australian government’s expensive, ineffective Internet filter. This is planned to censor not just illegal but ‘undesirable’ legal material using a secret and unaccountable blacklist. This must not happen, and I urge you to join me and the Digital Liberty Coalition in Canberra. As at the Internet Censorship Protest in Sydney I’ll be singing my own songs and some classic Internet hits and offering a wry perspective on the stragely silent Senator Stephen.

Finally, I have another exciting first this month as I play at the popular Sandringham Hotel on Wednesday 25th March for the very first time! This is another SongsALIVE event and I will be joined by Lucy Harte, Aaron Lyon Sophie O’Sullivan and Stuart O’Connor. Please make a special effort to make this one if you can: it will be a barnstormer!
